Vietnam usually has a dozen storms every year from June through the end of November, and most of
which occur in the Central and northern provinces. November 2nd, 1997, however, was an unexpected day
when the major storm Linda raged in the South. Linda was the worst typhoon in Southern Vietnam over 100
years. Formed in the sea of the Philippines, Linda strengthened as it moved westward. Later, it struck extreme
Southern Vietnam with winds of 100 kilometres an hour. Over 3000 people were reported lost and died. Ca
Mau province, suffered a direct hit by the storm, had the most damage. Gusts and heavy rainfalls caused
flooding, destroyed crops, damaged about 200,000 houses and left about 383,000 people homeless. Linda later
struck Thailand, causing flash flooding and at least 164 deaths. The storm also affected Myanmar, Indonesia,
Malaysia, and Cambodia to a lesser degree.
Today, residents in Mekong Delta still remember Linda after 20 years. The duration of the time is
enough for a kid to grow up from an unforgettable event. The memory of a particular typhoon improves

   Two of the most dangerous storms which affect America are hurricanes and tornadoes. They are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction.

   Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost. Most people who live near the coast are forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storm passes. Floods are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal water level. The high winds, coastal flooding and heavy rains associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage.

   Hurricanes usually develop between July and October. Once they hit land they carry tremendous power with driving rain and wind.

   Tornadoes are violent low-pressured storms. These storms occur most often during the summer months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain. The sky turns black as dust is sucked up into the air. Tornadoes are capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground. They can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such as homes and railway cars.

   Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and property every year. Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or ignored.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Viet Nam Likely to Face Extreme Weather Conditions by 2050

 Viet Nam is likely to continue facing extreme weather conditions such as higher temperatures, lower summer rainfalls, stronger storms, and rising sea levels from now to 2050. Temperatures in northern Viet Nam will rise by between 0.83 degrees Celsius by 2050 and continue its uptrend during the late 21st century. Summer rainfall will decline in most areas. Meanwhile, storms may become rarer but fiercer, causing possible flash floods and landslides in flood-prone areas of northern mountainous, central and central highland provinces. The forecasts suggest sea level rises of 100mm - 400mm along the entire Vietnamese coast by the end of the 21st century, affecting marine biodiversity and coastal communities. The experts emphasize the unpredictability of climate change and its potential impacts to create a variety of dangerous extreme weather events in the future. To raise the public awareness of climate change impacts, the Vietnamese government urges concerned agencies to work together on devising worst-case scenario models and responses by 2020 and calls on international experts to further support Viet Nam in climate change adaptation. Climate change is a real threat to Viet Nam’s socio-economic development. If sea levels rose one meter, five percent of the country’s land, eleven percent of its population and seven percent of its farmland would be affected.

 Question: Sea level rises along the entire Vietnamese coast by the end of the 21^st century will ______.

A. cause certain flash floods and landslides in flood-prone areas

B. make temperatures in northern Vietnam rise until 2050

C. make storms become rarer but fiercer in the near future

D. have impacts on marine biodiversity and coastal communities
